The late combined menagerie and
holocaust at BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, under
the management Of Phineas Il. Bar
mum and the Fire Fiend, brings to
mind the geological panic near st.
Louis about the last o,y of October
OF the present year, and which, OF
course, is still fresh in the memory OF
those who tried to recapture some OF
the animals.
On that date, owing to u misplaced
switch and the misplaced confidence
OF the engineer, old John Robinsons
great aggregation of modesty and
menagerie was thrown from the track
quicker than the proprietor could pro-
nounce his own name. AssOon as the
cars were derailed cages began to open
up like an insulted horn is nest, and
to Yield up various kinds OF animals
not indigenous to Illinois.
Tigers with long, timber tails and
mouths that opened like a red plush
reserved seat, lit softly on the trenlb-
ling earth, deity cracked their heels
together two times in rapid succession
and then moved softly away toward
the primary school of st. Louis. Jag,i-
ars bounded out of their bursting
cages and proceeded to take IN the
town.
The scene beggard description. Pale
women who, as general thing, could
not carry in u hOd OF coal tor their
poor, sick husbands, slid casually up a
freight car followed by feecy clouds OF
embroidery, or shook their parasols
at the Numldian lion and told him to
20 right away from there.
Nine cages OF animals were shattered
at once, and these denizen- OF the for

Of this city.
Th5 Company owns one Of the most valua-

Of this amount 81, ,0a0, 900 10 owned by the
